A brief biography

My interest in counselling psychology evolved through my practice as a chiropractor (registered since 1984). It became apparent to me that perhaps two thirds of the issues people were presenting with as physical pain, had their origins or were strongly influenced by emotional issues. The other 2/3 of issues I would deal with was physical in origin (that extra third being the overlap between the two).
If it seemed a person’s neck pains and headaches had an emotional component, helping the patient understand the connection would provide them opportunity to deal more effectively with the underlying issues.
Often, when relieving the physical component of stress patterns, the emotional component would start to flow. Within the context of a healing relationship, a patient may feel safe enough and would appreciate the opportunity to vent a bit of their concerns. As a health care professional, and having an aptitude for counselling, I would offer what insights I felt qualified to do so, and/or help direct the person to a more qualified professional. I was also able to offer insights I had gained through my own life’s journey and education from the School of Hard Knocks.
Many patients offered their appreciation for what assistance I was able to provide.
Recognizing that there is a need for counselling assistance and my own aptitude, I pursued formal education to further my insights and gain qualifications through the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program via Yorkville University.
